The most iconic deck of cards ever to be created. Now Jerry's Nuggets Playing Cards are your EVERYDAY cards!

In 1970, Jerry's Nugget Casino printed what would become one of the most collectible playing card decks ever manufactured by the United States Playing Card Company (USPCC). They made them for the tables but opted not to use them and put them in storage for 20 years! Playing card expert, Lee Asher, recognized the unique quality and feel of these cards and began evangelizing about them. In due course, Jerry's Nugget playing cards became legendary.

By the fall of 1999, these cards sold out, yet the demand continued to grow. Today, authentic Jerry's Nugget cards are among the most desirable and expensive modern decks on the market. After more than three years of pursuit and negotiation, a deal with Jerry's Nugget Casino and Expert Playing Card Company is making them available again!

In homage to the original decks, we have decided to print with USPCC on their Premium stock (formally called Bee stock). We are THIN CRUSHING this stock to the thickness of an original Jerry's card. And while these new decks won't feel the same as the originals, we've modernized them for today's tastes. They will be the perfect thickness (or thinness, in this case!) to handle today's sleights, flourishes and cardistry with ease. You will love these cards!

THE CUT:

The Modern Feel Jerry's decks will be TRADITIONALLY CUT, which makes them perfect for faro work! They will shuffle bottom up so table faros will be a breeze.

THE PRINTING PRESS:

Unlike almost all other custom decks that are printed one sheet (one deck) at a time, these Modern Feel Jerry's Nugget decks will print on the biggest and fastest press in the USPCC factory - THE WEB PRESS!

The Web press prints on huge rolls of paper and works extremely quickly, printing both sides, crushing the stock, coating both sides, heat curing the cards and cutting out the sheets in about one tenth of a second per deck! This unique printing process is the best available way to make cards at USPCC.

Once you feel these cards, you will see that the quality speaks for itself.

Disappointing Report this review

I was a Kickstarter backer of these new Jerry's reprints, and was very excited to receive my bricks. And I have to say that I am deeply disappointed in the quality control of these reprints.

At first, these cards make a good impression. The box looks pretty close to the originals, including the offset seal, and the cards come out of the pack silky and smooth. But, once you take a closer look, there are some glaring quality control issues that really shouldn't be present in a premium-priced deck.

For one, the packs I've opened are missing the promised double-backer, which was (and still is) advertised on their site as one of the 56 included cards (there are only 55 in the deck). You still get matching jokers and a blank face card (which is curiously devoid of color on the back as well), but no double-backer. Very disappointing.

Even more disappointing (and frankly unforgivable) is that the card backs are not consistently centered. Fanning through a deck, you can easily spot inconsistent border thickness (both on the long and short ends of the card). It's bad enough that I'd be worried about getting busted during an ambitious card routine, for instance. Now, I only opened a few decks in my bricks, but I have to assume that since the first two decks I opened (one red and one blue) had the same issues, this is not entirely isolated.

On the plus side, they feel nice. They're not quite as stiff as the originals, and they're probably a little bit thicker (I don't have any originals on-hand to directly compare). Overall, they sort of handle somewhere in the middle between Tally-Ho (my personal favorite) and Bee, so if you're a habitual Bicycle user, you may need to take a moment to get used to handling Jerry's.

All in all, my extreme excitement for this reissue has been dashed by what appears to be questionable quality control. Until these issues are fixed, these cards are not worth the premium they are asking for. I hope USPCC does right by the backers that made this reprint possible and replaces the shoddy decks. Time will tell.
